“It’s been our pleasure working with John Lasseter and his team to create ‘The Art of Cars’ exhibit” says Dick Messer, Executive Director of the Petersen Automotive Museum. “This movie was very special to me and many other car nuts I know–young and old–because of the way it entertains with real-life references to the racing industry with non-stop action and more than 100 years of automotive history.”
says the official press release. Thanks jbelkin.
Ha! That’s hilarious….
My aunt, who just so happens to be a car-a-holic, always visits my family around the summer and holidays. As is the norm, she almost always desires to attend any events or museums dealing with the subject while she’s in the area. No doubt she’ll want to visit the Peterson Automotive Museum again this year, so she, my sister, and I just might get to take a peek at this “Art of Cars” exhibit.
Thanks for the information!
